This park includes the largest wetlands in the Ottawa area, and the trip was timed to coincide with the end of spring waterfowl migration.

What a fantastic and successful birding trip to PARC NATIONAL DE PLAISANCE today [Sunday, 26 April]! I was so happy and honoured to have had the opportunity to co-lead our group with Mark Gawn! We saw a great variety of birds; our tally came to 48 species found during our 4-hour trip. Here’s the list. A + beside the count number means we saw more but stopped counting.
